I took a mid-morning ferry to Texada on Saturday; I haven’t driven over for quite awhile but there was no way I could do a walk-on with all my baking. The sound check was supposed to be Saturday afternoon at two. I knew that a couple of the Legion ladies were going to be there to set up some cheese and cracker trays and I thought it would be a good idea if I went along just to see how things worked in the building.

Someone (not as good at booking as I am obviously) had double booked the room and we weren’t able to even load the musicians’ gear in until close to three. I set up the chairs and tables for the evening and when that was done we sat and had a drink before heading home for supper.

The concert was very well attended (five short of a sell out) and we did well on the concession. At the end of the night we put away the table and chairs; there were some folks that said they were going to be needed for the next day but our instructions had been to put them away so that’s what we did.

Sunday morning Pat caught an early ferry back to Powell River for the Hike for Hospice event but I decided to spend another day at the studio. I did nothing but knit and read all day, unless you count napping as doing something. It was so relaxing!

This morning I did some cleaning over there and was home just past noon. Pat and I spent the afternoon on a Grad project – I’m glad that is off the list. Pat expects to be out for the evening so I’ll do some quilting tonight.
